The Girondists were progressive, but
cautious. The fiambeau was not to their
taste. ] hey were constructive and COZ
sislent They effected changes by legitimate
means only. They never for ducats, but
for the public good. They were slower than
the Jacobins, but they got there all the same,
and there was neither fire nor pillage IN
their path.
In 1854 the people invited the Jacobin
party to retire. At the same time they in
vited The GirOndist party to take possession
OF the White House As consequence the
country is quiet, prosperous. Its people are
one people. North and south are shoulder
to shoulder. The past is dead. The future
is hopeful. A democratic administration
has given the country what it wants-peace
and plenty And the country has stood by
this administration and will stand by it in
1888.
